Didn't know Australians were fascists

That's not, nor has it ever been, particularly funny.

The joke is basically "northern hemisphere is the default amirite? so everyone else must be upside down har har"

And before you think I'm just a salty Aussie there's heaps of actually funny jokes you can make about Australia.

For example Danny bhoy has a fucking hilarious routine about the stupid fucking names we give shit like bottle-o

The joke is made based on perspective, if you are in an australian sub someone can make a joke on europe seeing it like that, the fact that mostly ppl from the north emisphere do it shows nothing, it's literally a matter of perspective

I have actually seen an Australian make the exact joke you mentioned, I don't remember the specifics but it was basically that.

[–] sergih@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

I literally can't read this could you flip the text back upright? I think it might be written in Australian.

As far as I know the joke is based off the flat earth conspiracy which says that Australia can't exist and therefore must be on the other side of the flat earth

You dont get it, they make jokes that will get a rise out of you. If its a good joke we can all laugh, but if they make the same bad joke every time, it gets to you more than an actual slagging will.

Take it from an Irish person, we know how to handle lame jokes the americans come up with.

Teasing is fun it's just that's all they have and it's so boring.

Like do something different, mock our slack mouthed drunk accents, how fucking uptight the government is, how soft we are about cold, how much we drink, literally anything.
